this is one of my most “the sink helps with water” dumbest thoughts but this morning i was so absurdly grateful that we have a calendar cycle i almost cried. like what if instead of looping back through months everything was just an incredibly long series of numerically ordered days without pattern. that would be soooooo depressing but instead we live in a beautiful world where we actually have chance after chance because there will be more junes!!!!!

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

Call it a utopian deviation but I do think Che was right when he said a revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love, like I'm a Marxist because it's the only clear-sighted accurate framework for understanding the economic & political exercise of power but nobody dedicates their life to a 200-year struggle in the name of scientific insight, no one thoughtfully reasons their way to either end of a rifle, the reason I care enough to read and understand the conclusions of Marxism is because I have spent my entire life filled with an unquenchable outrage at the brutal injustice of life under capitalism and an unwavering conviction that the only decent thing to do is challenge it at every turn by any means necessary

I am a Marxist because it's the only effective path to socialism, but I have always been a socialist because the only alternative is to lie down and accept passive complicity in the suffering of billions
